Deprecated since 7.1.x, replaced by Zmmboxmove, removed from the code starting in ZCS 8.7

This command is used to move a mailbox from one Zimbra mailbox server to another. Mailboxes can be moved between Zimbra servers that share the same LDAP server. All the files are copied to the new server and LDAP is updated. After the mailbox is moved to a new server, a copy still remains on the older server, but the status of old mailbox is closed. Users cannot log on and mail is not delivered. You should check to see that all the mailbox contents were moved successfully before purging the old mailbox. This is a Network Edition only command.

Syntax

The mailbox and its contents and references are deleted from the server.
